Abstract: | Commonly studied models of the consecutive-k-out-of-n: F repairable systems in the existing literatures were considering the systems which had one repairman without vacation or infinite repairmen without vacations. In addition to those models, multiple repairmen without vacations are studied occasionally. However, technical personnel are very short in some fields. Some failed components cannot be repaired in time. This paper deals with the phenomenon of waiting for repair by supposing R repairmen with multiple vacations in the system. Using the pairs (i, |j|), the factor that the R repairmen taking multiple vacations was embedded into the classical C(k, n: F) system. Reliability indexes are presented. Finally, the Runge–Kutta method was used to a special case, and the experimental results demonstrate the necessity and validity of the new model. |
